Well, I for one do, simply because this is the best one I've ever had. The taste may not be as the commercial kind, here you can taste every single ingredient - maybe I'm not able to taste the galangal from the ginger, but I know it's there!

There's nothing like fresh bread overpowering your home with that lovely aroma!!!!!!
Great blog, you have some awesome pictures of yummy food and interesting dishes posted! :)
